Haworth 1940s Weekend

Harworth 1940s Weekend is an annual event in Haworth, West Yorkshire in England (that’s Bronte country). It’s held each year in springtime. Dates for the 2010 event have not been announced yet, but here are some photos from previous years, to show just how committed the town is to recreating the 1940s for this weekend. Visit www.haworth1940s.co.uk to find out more.
